President’sWelcome

I especially value the important exhibitions we have offered over the years, especially Fires of Change and Hope + Trauma in a Poisoned Land. The educational impact of these exhibitions can only help to find solutions to the issues presented which are especially of concern in the southwest.

Speaking for the Board, we are very appreciative of growth in the number of Arts Council members; the growing financial support for our programs which the community enjoys is encouraging. Discussions and research have begun to explore the Flagstaff community’s interest in and ability to support larger facilities for arts, culture and science programming.

On a personal note, I thoroughly enjoy being part of a good working board, with high energy and enthusiasm for new ideas and growth.

Holly TaylorBoard President

Welcome to the Annual Report for your Arts Council for fiscal year 2017. The art, culture, and science creativity we support in Flagstaff make a great difference in the quality of life for our community.

I joined the Arts Council board (formerly Flagstaff Cultural Partners) in 2006, just as new energy was infusing the organization. My interest in non-profit organizations centers on the development and growth of the organization, and that interest has been richly rewarded in the subsequent eleven years.

As a board member, I spent four years on the Art & Science Fund Committee, learning about all sorts of non- profit groups that provide an amazing diversity of arts, culture, and science programming for our community. Providing consultation to non-profits as they work to build capacity in their area of interest, as well as offering grant administration of the part of the City of Flagstaff’s BBB (Bed, Board and Beverage) tax revenues set aside for arts, culture, and science groups is an important service the Arts Council provides to our growing community and was personally very rewarding.

Your Arts Council did a lot of good work in the last year. Much of that is evident in this report which covers the many programs we offered to the community and to artists and non-profit organizations. Additionally, the Arts Council made a great deal of progress behind the scenes on programs that won’t come to light until after fiscal year 2017.

We have been collecting data for recently released report, Arts & Economic Prosperity: the Economic Impact of the Non-Profit Arts and Sciences in Flagstaff, Arizona, published by Americans for the Arts. The report shows that the non-profit arts and sciences sector has a $90 million dollar impact on Flagstaff’s economy. The arts strengthen local businesses and drive local engagement, both from visitors and from locals who attend local events and spend money at local businesses when they do. The full report can be seen on our website at flagartscouncil.org.

Additionally, we began serious work this year to launch an effort to pursue new facilities to better serve Flagstaff through the arts and sciences. In the past year, the Arts Council built a local coalition of non-profit

organizations, along with the City of Flagstaff and Coconino County. Out of that work came the funding and momentum to contract with the consulting firm ArtsMarket to conduct a feasibility study in FY18 to develop a plan for new cultural facilities in Flagstaff.

The majority of this report reviews Arts Council programs, numbers, and broad impact. However, the real power of our work results from how it impacts individual lives: the stories of real people who have been touched by our work, in small ways and in big ways.

For instance, look at the recent path of artist Bryan David Griffith. In 2014, the Arts Council invited Griffith, then a brilliant fine art photographer, to participate in the Fires of Change project and exhibition. He took what he learned through that project and built an entirely new path for his art through sculpture, installation art, painting and encaustics. Winning a Viola Award in 2016 was just the beginning. He produced a solo art exhibition, Rethinking Fire, for the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum. In 2016, he was one of five artists to receive a Contemporary Forum Artist Grants from the Phoenix Art Museum, which included another solo exhibition. Griffith is now represented by Bentley Gallery. He’s clearly a rising star in the art world.

Meanwhile, Fires of Change, which premiered at the Coconino Center for the Arts in fall 2015, was shown at two other cultural venues in the southwest: the accredited University of Arizona Museum of Art in Tucson, and 516 Arts in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Plans are underway to take Fires of Change to southern New Mexico. The highly popular exhibition has brought considerable attention to Flagstaff, its artists, and the Arts Council.

It is through these kinds of ripples that we move forward - step by step, artist by artist, patron by patron - to achieving a vision for the arts in Flagstaff. All signs point upward.

In early 2015, the Arts Advisory Council of the Flagstaff Arts Council met and approved a proposal for an exhibition exploring the impact of uranium mining on Navajo lands and people. Staff secured funding for the project, including a major grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Project partners were engaged including the Cameron Chapter House of the Navajo Nation, Northern Arizona University, University of New Mexico, and North Country Healthcare. A team of experts from those agencies developed a curriculum for artist to educate them on the impacts of uranium mining.

The result was a four day series of interactions, shared stories, and field trips that took place in Cameron, Arizona, and in Flagstaff, in October 2016. Artists who wished to submit art in the forthcoming exhibition, Hope and Trauma in a Poisoned Land, were required to attend the four-day intensive education program.

Artists were immersed in the landscape where uranium mining and contamination has occurred on the Navajo Nation. They heard from Navajo community members whose family members had suffered a variety of illnesses. They learned from scientists, health care professionals, mental health professionals, and other experts about the impacts of uranium mining.

Hope+TraumaInAPoisonedLandArtist Training for Exhibition About Uranium Mining

Finally, artists were taken to visit several abandoned uranium mine sites around Cameron, Arizona. Near the end of a long day of visiting mines, they were taken to one more mine at the top of hill, directly above the Little Colorado River, overlooking Cameron. To get there, they rode in buses through a neighborhood and past a home where residents enjoyed a birthday party for a young Navajo boy, within just one hundred yards of the abandoned mine site.

The experience was powerful, educational, and emotionally overwhelming for the participating artists. Many were inspired to create art to share what they experienced. The resulting exhibition, which opened the following year in August 2017, struck a chord with audiences.

2017ViolaAwards At the 9th Annual Viola Awards Gala on Saturday, March 4, 2017, the Flagstaff Arts Council announced the winners of the 2017 Viola Awards. The event honored forty-two nominees in eight categories. Over 600 people were in attendance at the Gala.

The majority of Viola Award winners were first time nominees. Dark Sky Aerial, Elizabeth Hellstern, Sheila White, Melissa Cripps, Kristopher Kohl, David Christiana, and Janice ChenJu Chiang were all first time nominees. Shawn Skabelund became just the sixth two-time recipient of a Viola Award. He won also in 2014 for his exhibition, Virga: The Hunt for Water.

This is the third time in Viola Award history that a Panel has awarded two Viola Awards in a category. The first time was in 2015 when both Tina Mion and Ulrike Arnold won in the Visual Arts. This year, both the Storytelling and Performing Arts categories had two winners.

The 2017 Viola Awards artist was Steve Warburton. He crafted the awards with the spirit of reaching upwards, using local and exotic woods to symbolize unity in diversity.

What’stoComeThe Arts Council is always looking ahead to what’s next. Staff plans ahead by three months, a year, and sometimes 2-3 years in advance for programs. Plans for FY2018 and beyond include more than can be listed on a single page. However, these are the big initiatives on the docket.

The Arts Council produced a number of vibrant programs for the community in 2016-17. There were many continuing programs that are well-known to members and con-stituents. The Arts Council promotes First Friday Artwalk, producing the monthly map and guide. The partnership with the Museum of Northern Arizona to produce the annual Navajo Rug Auction continued, with strong sales for another year. The Fine Craft Sale provided a marketplace for local artists to sell artwork during the holiday season. There were many others, in addition to the many theatrical productions, concerts and fundrais-ers held at the Coconino Center for the Arts that were produced by local schools, artists and non-profit organizations.

Flagstaff365.com, the ongoing partnership between the Arts Council and the Flagstaff Convention & Visitors Bureau to promote events, was migrated to a new WordPress for-mat website. Visitation to the site was on the rise over the past year.

Concerts and performances produced in the last year at the Coconino Center for the Arts included:

The Arts Council increased its offerings of workshops for the community in the past year. Art and professional development workshops produced in FY2017 at the Coconino Center for the Arts:

Hope + Trauma in a Poisoned Land The blockbuster exhibition that explores, through the eyes of artists, the impact of uranium mining on Navajo lands and people is open August through October 2017. Featuring works by over twenty Native and local artists, the exhibition is the culmination of years of work by a variety of partnering organizations. An exhibition catalog will provide patrons with a long-lasting memory of the powerful art contained within the show.

Phase I: New FacilitiesThe Arts Council has hired ArtsMarket out of Bozeman, Montana, to conduct a feasibility study to explore the need and audience for a new art, culture and science center, facility or campus in Flagstaff. The eight-month effort will include surveys, intensive research,meetings, focus groups and community forums. The goal is to assess what is possible, what is needed, and what Flagstaff can ultimately afford to build and maintain in order to upgrade to premier facilities to better serve the community. Dozens of local non-profits will join into the effort, as the vision for this growth goes beyond currentprogramming at the Coconino Center for the Arts.

Ten Years of Viola Believe it or not, in March 2018, the Viola Awards will be ten years old. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of what has become a fixture, tradition, and highlight of the arts season, the Arts Council will have some special tricks up its collective sleeves for the 10th anniversary Gala event. Mark your calendars now: Saturday, March 3, 2018.

So Much MoreCompelling art exhibitions, intimate concerts, engaging hands-on art experiences, and a lot of fun are on the slate as we head into our next year. We look forward to sharing it with you!
